Customer Reviews

A great book for programmers.

If you can code you already know PHP, you just need to be "reminded" of all the built in functions and a few little details. This book does just that, cheaply.Some CGI background is helpfull if you have never done any web programming, but any intelligent programmer should be coding PHP in half an hour with this book.

Very good book!

I can really recommend this book if you know PHP and need a fast and simple way to look up a function or something else.. Easy to find very thing in the book and i would like to see the next version of this book for PHP 4 when that will be released!

A truly complete pocket reference

A really complete pocket tutorial. A good way to quickly lookup syntax, functions and the operation of PHP itself. The book starts with an introduction/reminder to PHP and actually very useable examples that you can put to use right away. An excellent book by Rasmus Lerdorf, one of the key developers of PHP.

Another ORA Ref

Just like many of the other ORA Reference books this one doesnt fail to deliver. No PHP developer should be without it, it's an excellent quick reference, very well set out. You'll soon be using the best PHP commands and functions for the job. Be sure to learn a little PHP before buying this book however, otherwise it will go to waste until you're at least a little comfortable with the language !It's cheap too ! Go get it !
